Performance mods

now start with Performance mods if you are lagging or having drops frames (note some of these need dependency mods installing as well - read their instructions)

as well use Mixin 0.7-0.8 Compatibility some mods are old and may crash on you without this mod https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/mixin-0-7-0-8-compatibility

Foam​Fix (improves memory usage) https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/foamfix-optimization-mod

if you are still getting memory issue like if you have low ram like 4gb or 8gb ram the next mod will work better for you

VintageFix (improves memory usage and this mod replaces Foam​Fix) https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/vintagefix

TexFix (improves memory usage and will work with VintageFix and Foam​Fix) https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/texfix

TexFix is a bit outdated and there is a other mod that does the same thing as it and more

censoredasm (improves memory usage and will work with VintageFix and Foam​Fix and will not work with TexFix) https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/lolasm

燐/Hesperus (improves the lighting engine and this mod replace Phosphor) https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/hesperus

Entity Culling https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/entity-culling [in this mod's own config, add in "lepidodendron" to be excluded from the ENTITIES list (but not the the TILE ENTITIES one)]

Nothirium https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/nothirium

JVM

and now the JVM

Xmx?G is the max ram to give minecraft and the Xms?x should be half of the max ram

you can change the G to m

G = GB

m = mb

1024mb = 1Gb

-Xmx8G -Xms4G -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseNUMA -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=15 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=30 -XX:GCPauseIntervalMillis=150 -XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -XX:+UseBiasedLocking -XX:SurvivorRatio=8 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=15 -Dfml.ignorePatchDiscrepancies=true -Dfml.ignoreInvalidMinecraftCertificates=true -XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods -XX:+UseCompressedOops -XX:+OptimizeStringConcat -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=2048m -XX:+UseCodeCacheFlushing -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=10000 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2

How do I change my RAM or JVM arguments?

You probably want at least 4GB assigned to Minecraft to play the Prehistoric Nature mod.

Using the Minecraft Launcher:

• Click on "Installations" at the top
• Hover over your installation and then click the three dots on the right -> Edit
• More options (near the bottom)
• In "JVM Arguments" you can add your new arguments or edit them
• To allocate more RAM to the installation you need to edit the first thing you can see there beginning with -Xmx. The immediate next numbers before the space show the RAM. The format works so that to allocate 4GB you change this to say -Xmx4G
• "Save" and play

Using the Curseforge Launcher: If you need to edit the JVM arguments then follow the steps above after Curseforge launches the Minecraft Launcher. Note that Curseforge will not remember the JVM arguments next time - very annoying and you will need to put them again every time you open it. If you only need to edit RAM you can also do it like this:

• Open your installation in the Curseforge App
• Next to the play button at the top right, click on the three little dots -> Profile Options
• Untick the "Use System Memory Settings" box
• Slide the slider up to the amount of RAM you want to use
• "Done" and play
